I wonder what you call a British expat who resides in Colombia? Or a Colombian who moves to British Columbia?
And what if he or she then goes to New York and enrolls in Columbia? Could get very tricky...

Not to mention some who loves reruns of Columbo and hero-worships the explorer Columbus... and actually-worships at a church named after Ireland's St. Columba?
Nahhh...

I guess Olivier and I should have our names down, so we don't forget to try it as well.

Does somebody hear an echo?

Of course, if popular demand turns out to be unusually high, we may be able to take on additional sponsorship to make a larger buy.
Let's face it, the idea is for people to be able to enjoy the adventure together.

Not to derail fencer's gyokuro pot thread (because I see it as actually a tencha pot thread), what sort of teaware might those of us participating in the upcoming gyo tasting want to have on hand for it?

But will a run-of-the-mill kyusu do just fine?

It can be brewed in pyrex if you want. I have to say, I am enjoying it more now than ever before. Could be the gyokuro though.
